Vintage in Blue – 31DC2014

I did these nails before the 31 Day Challenge started and just couldn’t figure out where to put them. Blue day? Delicate day? (Just wait till you see tomorrow’s post, I have some BIG NEWS.) I settled on floral day, because wheeee flowers!

This is a bit of vintage nail art. I always think “light blue-grey” when someone says vintage, so I just have to go with it! The design is based off a beautiful bit of art by @m_a_tom. I would never think to put side rhinestones on my nails, but it seems to be popular right now and it does look good!

Unfortunately, the mani took a bit longer than I would have liked because I decided to hand-paint the straight lines. Oy. Striping tape, I miss you! Roses were fun though. I think I’m getting better at this!

Colors
~ Blue textured: Julie G – Blueberry Fizz
~ White: Wet n’ Wild – French White Cream
~ Light blue: Essie – Rock the Boat
~ Dark blue: Maybelline – Midnight Swim
~ Silver: A England – Excalibur
~ Black: Sinful Colors – Black on Black

I hope you enjoyed these floral skittle nails! And I promise, when you see what I have planned for tomorrow…well, it had some very special inspiration!
